Driving a motorsport event pace car is like being a football referee, or a special ops secret agent. Because it"s one of those jobs that"s very important, and yet no-one ever tends to notice when you"re doing it well. All that changes when you cock it up. Then, it"s a big deal. Enter General Motors product development chief Mark Reuss. A gentleman Top Gear likes for his excellent choice in badass Corvette nicknames. When the 650bhp Corvette Z06 debuted in 2015, Reuss christened it The Big Nasty". When it was superseded by the ultimate C7-generation Vette, the ZR1, Reuss had another codename to share: he called the ZR1 Fury". How cool"s that?
